Missing my pets

[Madelaine McMasters]

Hi Lanette,

Your things were probably returned en-masse as a "coalesced object". Such things have inventory icons that look like li'l piles of boxes, and they will have the name of one of the things in the collection. So dig in your Lost and Found folder (where returned objects generally go) and look for box piles.

If you find some, locate a wide open space (like a full region public sandbox) to rez them and drag them out. All the objects in the collection will rez in the same relative positions they had when returned. So, if you had them spread all over your parcel, they're going to be spread all over the place you rez them and you may have to walk around to take them all back into inventory, one by one. Make sure you don't stand near the edge of the sim, or some of the objects may bang off the sim borders and end up in odd places, or the entire collection may refuse to rez.

Good luck!

ETA: Oh, I just thought of something. If some of the coalesced objects are scripted pets, you may have to chase them around the place where you rez the group, and they may not stay inside any border they were configured to respect, because they're now potentially in a very different part of a region and may be totally confused.

Get ready to run!
